It is a new Asian American archetype amongst the Dragon Lady, China Doll, and Lotus Blossom that targets and constructs racialized femininity. Hinging on its visual appearance, the ABG is a persona whose performance evokes positive and negative connotations due to its ability to subvert Asian American stereotypes and create a hybridized Asian American persona, while also creating new and restraining stereotypes imposed onto Asian American women. This study intends to investigate how this new racialized and gendered social label, the ABG persona, impacts the experiences of Asian American women by focusing on the allure and rejection of the label, and the operation of this label under the male gaze and within academic and professional settings.","PeriodicalId":109522,"journal":{"name":"Asian American Research Journal","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125656820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research explores how these 1960s radical movements continue to influence modern Asian American community organizing and efforts to build multiracial solidarity. This paper draws upon the wisdom of interviewees who participated in the 1960s TWLF Strikes at SFSU and UC Berkeley, and the radicalizing lessons they shared with a younger generation of students, activists, and community leaders. Through a series of conversations with former TWLF student members and leftist activists, this paper reflects on the following questions: In light of the broad political changes that emerged from the 1960s Third World struggle, how do we begin to understand the significance of these movements today? What lessons can we learn from Third World solidarity and the origins of Asian America, given the institutional limitations of the Ethnic Studies department at UC Berkeley? The theoretical and social foundations of these past movements challenge capitalist, imperialist perspectives and emphasize an urgent community focus. By rediscovering community-oriented learning and “self-determination,” Asian American students can revitalize the spirit of the Third World struggle in Ethnic Studies and the broader community.","PeriodicalId":109522,"journal":{"name":"Asian American Research Journal","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127892627","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
